Doctors who specialize in treating obesity, overweight patients, and related disorders; they focus on helping patients lose weight without surgical intervention, and provide the tools and support to keep the weight off long-term.
Although Dr. Desai is a family medicine & obesity medicine physician, she primarily focuses on weight loss. You will need to have a primary care doctor for your other needs. Dr. Desai will communicate with your primary care physician throughout the program.
We are not a diet program. We are a medical treatment program for those patients at risk for or suffering from the disease of obesity. Dr. Desai will formulate a treatment plan for your individual needs, which will include healthy nutrition, exercise recommendations, and other lifestyle modifications for your overall health and wellness.
Dr. Desai will determine if and what medication is necessary once she's assessed your medical history and weight loss goals. Medication is never mandatory. Yet if you have struggled to lose or maintain your weight loss, it is often recommended.
Medical meal replacements are foods, usually in the form of shakes, soups, or bars, that are designed to contain a high amount of nutrition and a low amount of calories. They have all the essential macronutrients, vitamins, and minerals. These can only be purchased from a doctor's office and are not the same as ones you see over the counter at grocery stores. Patients on meal replacement therapy need to be closely monitored by a healthcare provider. It is not mandatory to take meal replacements; however, they can safely help you lose more weight and keep it off longer.
At this time, we are only seeing patients by secure virtual tele-visits. Our physical location in Katy, TX is opening up in 2024.
Since Dr. Desai is licensed in the state of Texas, we can only see Texas residents.
We see anyone 18 years and above.
The total amount of weight loss depends on your individual needs. Typically, patients lose between 2-5 pounds per week, depending on which program you choose.
Medical weight loss & health coaching is not typically covered by most insurance carriers. In addition, Dr. Desai strongly feels that in order to offer the best help to her patients, she needs to spend the extra time and give patients more accountability than what insurance visits allow. Therefore, we do not accept insurance.
We accept all major credit cards as well as FSA (Flexible Spending Accounts) and HSA (Health Savings Accounts).
We understand that circumstances may come up that require cancellation or re-scheduling your appointment. If this should occur, please let us know at least 24 hours in advance. A $50 fee will be applied to all no-shows and cancellations made with less than 24 hour notice.
No weight loss program can guarantee results, because weight loss is a complex process that depends on many factors, including genetics, diet, exercise, and lifestyle.
However, our program is based on sound scientific principles and has helped hundreds of people lose weight and keep it off. The more effort you put in, the better your results will be. Having said that, there are 3 key qualities for success on this program:
1. You understand that there are no quick-fixes or magic pills for weight loss
2. You are willing to work hard and follow the guidelines we set together
3. You are willing to invest in your long-term health
If you are committed & consistent, I am confident that you will see results.
